Hopefully the complaint before SJC concerning New York Metro and the CCB review of Northern California and Philadelphia will throw some cold water on this.Dave Sarafoleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722550481632741589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676056157946675.post-18605971447423988532009-06-27T18:42:18.253-04:002009-06-27T18:42:18.253-04:00Dave,

The idea of 'the church speaking' grows out of the proposed composition of the study committee -- from the various perspectives on women in the PCA.
